Display – The Real Compromise?
realme C65 5G sports a 6.67-inch IPS display with 720P resolution and it has 120Hz refresh rate and 625 nits of peak brightness support. Now a days, most of the phones in this price range feature an FHD+ display whereas this phone has only a 720P resolution display which is definitely a drawback of this phone.
Build and Design
Realme C65 5G has a plastic back with a plastic frame. The phone is 7.89 mm thin and weighs 190 grams.
Battery and Charging
Realme C65 5G packs a 5000mAh battery inside and has upto 15W charging support. This Phone is IP54 certified which will protect it from dust particles and few water splashes.
Software
realme C65 5G comes with realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14 out of the box which is definitely a good thing about this phone. The brand will provide 2 years of Android updates and 3 years of security updates to this phone and this means that this phone will receive updates till Android 16.
This smartphone is filled with bloatware apps just like the other phones in this price range and it also has the realme App Store, Hot Apps and Hot Games folders but you can disable these.
Audio and Haptics
realme C65 5G has a single speaker which is normal in this price range. Haptics will give you a spring type feel which is also pretty normal in this price range.

Performance
realme C65 5G boasts a new Mediatek Dimensity 6300 5G chipset which is based on 6nm architecture and it’s clocked at 2.4 GHz. It’s an octa core chipset which has 2 Cortex-A76 cores clocked at 2.4 GHz and 6 Cortex-A55 cores which are clocked at 2.0 GHz. This new chipset has the same Mali-G57 MP2 GPU as the Dimensity 6100+.

Talking about the selfie camera, it has a single 8MP selfie camera which captures the photos which have soft details and can’t click good photos in the night.
Cons of realme C65 5G
- Display: If you look at the display part of this phone, it seems like the realme did the biggest cost cutting here because most of the phones in this price range are now a days equipped with a 1080P display whereas realme C65 5G has a 720P display. Even if you look at realme’s own smartphone the realme 12x 5G, it also priced similar to this phone but it has an FHD+ display.
- Charging: This smartphone supports 15W charging support which definitely not the fastest in its price range. realme’s own smartphone, realme 12x 5G supports 45W charging which is costs just 500 more in price.

Conclusion – Best Phone Under 10000?
realme has flooded the smartphone market with lots of phones which have similar specs and design. This is not the best realme phone in this price range. By adding just 500 you can get the 4GB + 128GB variant of realme 12x 5G or Narzo 70x 5G which is much better offering at that price. By spending just 500more, you will get faster 45W charging and an FHD+ display.
This seems like a good phone for realme to earn more profit but you should not buy this phone. Buy realme 12x 5G or Narzo 70x 5G instead. Both these phones are the same in specs. One is sold on Flipkart and the other is sold on Amazon. Buy it from here.
